Armagh are still on course for an Interzone double with the Men reaching the final of their competition yesterday after a 15 shot victory against North West.

Derek Wright's rink started off slow and by 7 ends they where 2-11 down but 2 counts of 3 and 4 in the last 2 ends reduced the deficit to 2 shots and ended up 9-11.
Alan Robert's rink had a tight tussle in their game and by the last end they were 7-10 down but a count of 2 on the last end left them only 9-10 down.
